Magnets are used to make electric motors and generators. Without these electric motors and generators we would not have telephones, lights, electric heat, television, or computers.
Some items that use electromagnets are: Maglev trains, car crushers, scrap metal sorters, telephones, computers, doorbells, tape recorders etc. Magnets are also used in compasses to show attraction and repulsion. Magnetized compasses are used to detect underground metal pipes.
What else can I help you with?
Do magnets only attract to shiny things?
No, magnets can attract to a variety of materials based on their magnetic properties, not just shiny objects. Magnets attract objects that contain ferromagnetic materials like iron, cobalt, and nickel, regardless of their appearance.
Will a magnet stick to tin?
Not to pure tin. Magnets stick to things with iron in them.
Do stereo sets have magnets?
The speakers in a stereo contain powerful magnets.
Can magnets pick up paper?
No, paper does not contain any magnetic compounds in it's compositon.
What minerals attract to magnets?
Some minerals contain magnetite, which is atracted to magnets.
Are magnets found in living things?
No, there are no magnets in animals.
What do meteors contain that make them magnetic?
magnets
What is the hypothesis of magnets?
The hypothesis of magnets is that they contain invisible forces that attract or repel certain metals based on their polarity. This hypothesis explains the observed behavior of magnets interacting with each other and with magnetic materials.
Are all meteorites attracted to magnet?
No, not all meteorites are attracted to magnets. Some meteorites contain iron and nickel, which are magnetic and will be attracted to magnets. However, other meteorites may not contain these elements and will not be attracted to magnets.
What could you use a magnet for?
All electric motors contain magnets- and information storage in computers is based on magnets. Electrical generators contain magnets, as do electrical transformers. Even the charger for your IPod is based on electromagnets.
What element does natural magnets contain?
Natural magnets typically contain iron, along with small amounts of other elements such as nickel and cobalt. The presence of iron is what gives natural magnets their magnetic properties.
What kind of things do magnets attracts?
The only three things that magnets can attract to are iron, nickel, and cobalt.
